A double layer of electric tape for everything i don’t want. But I like it kind of. I’m scared of total darkness so I even use my always on display as kind of a night light.

You’ve reminded to tape off the blinking blue LED on my monitor, it’s been driving me nuts when I’m trying to sleep!

Thought I read somewhere it’s cheaper to get these super bright LEDs, so they use those rather than something easier on the eye.
LEDs are very cheap, very bright, take little energy, and have an extremely long life span. They're perfect, but designers keep bumping up the brightness.
I haven't read someone answering why now is so common. I'm not a product designer or something similar, but our brain evolved to process the visual inputs over other senses. If a product have integrated lights, most of the customers will prefer them instead of products without lights.
So basically is just a sale point, and as many here already told, many of them are unnecessary.
I think we should also have a review on non-functional (decorative) LEDs on the gadgets we buy, especially those cheap chargers that decide to light up the whole room with blue.
Tbh I think we need laws about them to get this shit to stop.
It's objectively bad for people's health to be surrounded by bright light at night, because it impacts your ability to sleep.

They don't belong on car headlights either. Because, every time, they're going to be abused by drivers at night. They're even unhelpful to see road signs, too. Because when the light is focused on them, I noticed I have such a hard time reading the white text on the reflective green background. It's obnoxious and such an eyesore.
I just sleep with a mask, but I hear you man, that trend is super-irritating. I think it comes from people who cant tell that something is powered on without seeing an led indicator

It's annoying as fuck, but there is a solution: Masking Tape
It's semi-see-through. so you can still see the status, but it won't be nearly as bright. Add two layers if one isn't enough dimming.

Yah agree with your rant but black electric tape was my solution too.
You must be buying crap. I have lots and lots of electronic devices, flashlights too and the indicator lights on the vast majority of them aren't as bright as you're saying.
You might have some kind of problem with your eye sight.

Alec Watson enters the chat
This kind of low effort comment should have stayed on Reddit.
I guess people here is not familiar with Technology Connections and Alec's despise of blue LEDs.
